Metallica has announced more details of its 40th birthday celebration, and will mark this milestone by inviting registered members of Metallica‘s Fifth Member fan club to join them in their hometown of San Francisco for two live shows featuring two different set-lists on December 17 and 19 at Chase Center.

The 40th-anniversary shows at Chase Center will be the first time the band has played there since the September 2019 “S&M²” concerts. Tickets for the December 17 and 19 Chase Center shows will be available only to registered Fifth Members, who are invited to enter to win a reservation code that will guarantee them the opportunity to purchase tickets. Reservation winners will be chosen randomly and e-mailed additional information and directions to proceed with purchase. Winners will have the option to choose from two-day tickets to gain entry to both METALLICA shows at the Chase Center or single day tickets for the show on either December 17 or December 19. Travel packages that include both tickets and hotel accommodations will also be available at MetallicaTravel.com. All members will be limited to a maximum purchase of two show tickets or one hotel/ticket package (package options include either two or four tickets).
